Corp Affairs just did something I’ve not seen before. Without warning, they reduced headcount. People received phone calls and were given notice of role elimination.
Be careful answering the next call from your supervisor.

Good luck to all of you who are going through this. It’s a tough situation especially with the holidays coming. Hoping you get whatever you’re looking for- whether severance or a new chapter. So much more than this company.
Turnover is the new Chevron Way - you are fired or job going to Engine - Tenent 11
@14g if that’s actually what you think people in CA do, you’re ignorant. Literally every word that gets released about Chevron by Chevron runs through corporate affairs. Every bit of internal and external messaging—visual and written. And despite LT trying to shove it down our throats, AI is actually terrible at doing the work I wish it were better at so I could coast on my salary. Unfortunately, I do, in fact, have to work for it.
@m2 party planning and booking conferences. Nothing AI cannot do
@na they didnt even receive notice. A phone call, a thank you very much and a standard severance (nothing like the EOI packages).
Does anyone know if those “quietly” laid off received severance?
what do Corporate Affairs do anyway?
CNE BD just went through a ‘reorg’ too.
@ga false equivalence. There is always a right/human way to do it that doesnt take forever. Seems like we swing from both extremes, but both ensure equal misery from an employee side.
Two years ago we complained that the process took too long (org charts, job descriptions, EOI, posting/selection process, etc.). This is what we get when it is done faster.
@dk they wont because its now all about shareholder returns. We've become a churn and burn culture, and the LT or PSG 26+ will stick it out and keep everyone else in their place or out for cheaper "talent"
Didn’t the quiet layoffs start in legal 2 months ago and is suppose to impact all orgs through 2027? I assume as this happens to more departments they will need to make a official statement.
@bj if you are laid off and not fired for cause, are you not severance eligible?
Bc the trunk talks were so successful
This is priceless sedesco.l of all people. You do realize there no one left for you point fingers on this time. You guys are all left you really cannot be whining at all. There's no one else left to point the finger on. Oh the irony ima get my popcorn ready for this.
Perhaps they are simply using the current administration’s playbook of firing people via a two sentence email with no cause or explanation, and not even a courtesy phone call.
@bj exactly, welcome to our new human energy company
this is the new world y’all… no more EOIs
I mean when you see that groups leadership team, are you really surprised that they do it this way?
